Yes, they did go in the Lunar morning Lloyd. In the pdf I posted previously on the constraints of the Lunar lighting, at the end are some diagrams showing the monthly cycle. The Lunar surface is only lit by the Sun for the first 14 days, but ideal EVA conditions are shown for the period when the surface is only lit by Earthshine. However, in practising for the landing, they trained with goggles fited with ND filters passing between .002 and 2.9% of the light intensity at the training location. So even though the Sun is up, for the times they were on the Moon, it was never bright, compared to Earth light.
The other document, 19750065843_1975065843.pdf would seem to indicate they were never in bright sunlight, as they left while it was still only early as far as the Lunar day goes. In which case, with the very low surface albedo, there should never have been a time when the surface was bright, as we would think of bright on Earth. Ample for the amazing capabilities of the human eye though.
Anyway, they were never on the surface during 'mid-day' Sun, and I was wondering what the light level would be then, wrt Earth noon lighting, but haven't found that info yet. Total soalr irradience was never measured on the Moon, they just assume it is the same as Earth levels, the Moon being at the same distance from the Sun on average. I believe it is
very different. However, in my continuing, tho' sporadic reading of more of the Oahspe cosmology, it is stated that both light and heat on Earth and the Moon, are a result of the 'lensing' of Solar EM radiation, and that the Sun is not a hot incandescent globe providing the kind of heat you get sitting in front of a nice fire. Also found a reference to "the Earth was laying on it's side at that time", which fits in with what I, and I think one or two other TBers consider likely.
My new model of the Sun is slow going just now Lloyd, but I think you'll like it. It is way, way different to neutron star cores or fusion, and may be just as crazy

, but I think it should score well in the Creative Thinking category at least. You have to accept the existence of the Aether though to give it consideration.
My time at the moment, now we have some decent-ish weather, is spent collecting information and images for my other project, a publication to be titled "A Revolution in Geology: A field guide to indicators of large and small scale electrical and plasma modification of the Earths surface." Shall I put you down for a first run copy?

In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. -Buckminster Fuller
